i hope he will post this as well.

Paint over in cs5 by: mikemars

Secondly the whole process of painting over this is on vimeo at:

the videos are "tacbat" 1-4. No 4 will be uploaded this evening.

my aim was to show how the process of working over a sketchup model in ps could go with an eye toward keeping things simple. my hope is that the videos could de-mystify the process for people who are not used to image editing. im not sure i succeeded but its something. i welcome comments and suggestions for if and when i try to do something like this again.

as you can tell i like wear and tear maybe too much. i hope you enjoy it. it was fun to work with scifiwarships on this. he is an amazing modeler and a great person too in my opinion. im sure many of you DA peeps know that already.

good luck in all your projects.

thanks kurt! cool im glad you thought so. its hard not to feel somewhat self conscious about recording things. do i sound like someone i might make fun of? i never know for sure. scifiwarships work led me to investigate it durring my last work break. it is a very interesting program for sure. im trying to nudge scifi into doing some tuts. they would be very interesting. thanks again kurt

nice job Mike.... nah, the wear and tear is awesome. gives it a nice "lived in" feel and keeps it real!!! I mean, it's a battle ship, yeah?
